Awakening to Higher Brain Living Retreat

Have you ever experienced a deep, powerful longing to create significant transformation in your life, and yet found it to be surprisingly difficult? The reason we struggle to gain enlightenment seems to lie, at least in part, in our physiology. Specifically, in the fact that our lower brain is “hard-wired” for survival and is dominated by the “fight or flight” impulse. It is poorly suited for the complexities and ever-increasing pace of modern living, nor is it equipped to dissipate stress and generate forward momentum. That’s where Higher Brain Living comes in. Pioneered by Dr. Michael Cotton, D.C., it centers on the concept of “enlightenment physiology.” Join Dr. Nikki Conte and Lauren Joyce for their HBL transformational immersion retreat on Sunday, November 12, from 10am to 5:30pm, at Physical Therapy Unlimited in Warren.

Utilizing a light-touch technique, a Certified Facilitator introduces contacts specifically designed to liberate energy blocks throughout the body and to create a surge of energy to the part of the brain known as the pre-frontal cortex, or “Higher Brain.” As this latent part of the brain becomes more energized, it creates observable shifts in neuroplasticity and brain activity consistent with Higher Order levels of thought and coherence.

This retreat includes: two hands-on HBL Immersion sessions, two contemplative sessions, access to video and audio resources, a beautiful workbook/manual, and direct awareness and experience of your infinite, transcendent self. Participants can expect to experience increased joy, confidence and peace through the awakening and strengthening of dormant physiological pathways.

Registration is required. The early registration discount is $159, including manual and materials. After October 29, registration is $199.

Dr. Nikki Conte N.D. and Lauren Joyce are both Master-Level Facilitators of HBL.

Location: Physical Therapy Unlimited, 23 Mountain Boulevard, Warren. To register, call Lauren Joyce at 646-712-2423 or email [email protected]. For more information, visit HBLDrConte.com/WhatIsHBL or call 908-754-4480. 

 

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
